Online Slots Jackpots The online gambling industry has grown tremendously over the past decades with jackpots growing more than 1000% over the years. The numbers are only expected to increase from here and, according to EarthTimes.org, industry insiders predict that the average jackpot will be over $1 million by the year 2018.

There are two factors that analysts believe will influence to increase of the average online casino jackpot. The first is the overall growth of the online gambling industry. Progressive jackpot games grow along with the number of players who put money into them. As an increasingly number of players enter the online gambling market, the natural effect will see more wagers being placed on online casino games, thus increasing the total of various progressive jackpots.

Analysts also believe that that casino operators’ approach to linking jackpots will be a key factor in the increase of the average online jackpot. It is no longer enough for gaming operators to link progressive jackpots within one casino. Now, they must devise new ways to link progressive jackpots across one gaming group or one brand of games – for example, the Marvel Superhero slots and Microgaming’s linked progressive jackpot network.

According to Gaming Club spokesperson Terry Maverick, the growth of online jackpots will continue until million dollar wins become the norm.

“We’re very proud of our progressive jackpots”, he says “Within a few years we’re confident that jackpots will regularly make our winning players overnight millionaires”.
